TIRE BALANCE PROBLEM

HAVE A 2002 W/30000 MILES
THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT SPOT
BOUGHT NEW PIRELLI THEY WOULD NOT FORCE BALANCE LOWER THAN23
RETURNED THESE FOR MICHELINS PILOT PLUS
FORCED BALANCED TO BELOW 10 AFTER 2 DAYS OUT OF BALANCE PROBLEM CAME BACK
THE DEALER FORCED THEM AGAIN AND THEY WERE OUT 33 GRAMS
THE TIRES WOULD NOT HOLD A BALANCE
RETURNED THOSES AND NOW HAVE PILOT HMMX THESE NOW VIBRATE AT 58 MPG AFTER FORCE BALANCE
HAVE NEW ENGINE MOUNTS BALANCED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND WHEELS NOT OUT OF ROUND
ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEAS?

Locate another High End Tire Shop...

I Use a person that ONLY does wheel Balance (On the Car)

First he will true the tires On the car with a special tread cutting machine
so that tires are round

Then He will balance them again on the car

Tops off the balance with Nitrogen

And Best of all is his Warranty...He will Rebalance the car as long as there is enough tread left on the tires to be safe (Tread Bars) for No Charge

Sounds like you are very sensitive ..like me on wheel balance
and have a out of round tire


He does this service on


Go Karts
Race cars
Motorcycles
Aircraft

BTW release the caps button..
